Can it be said that freedom is a value?
A value is something to be desired, it could also be said a life without it results in suffering.
What is freedom?
to not be burdened by other's values. This is to say, to be able to do what you want, and not do what you don't want.
then, what does the statement "i value freedom" state?
"I desire to be able to do what i desire"

Is this a tautologically implied value? This is to say, a value that is implied in every case where designation of value is possible.
Could it be said that freedom is a meta-value or super-value. As it is a value concerning values.
Or perhaps it isn't a value at all, because it cannot result in suffering on its own (where if you are forced to act against your value, suffering arising from acting against the value is indistinguishable from suffering based on the resulting loss of freedom)

Where are the flaws in my thinking?
im mf tired so apologies in advance for any incoherence, although i came up with this around noon.
